How quickly time seems to pass, it seems as though in a mere eye blink ago I was niether a soldier nor a blogger, yet  now both those things are so.  In looking back on the past year I must say that taken as a whole more good than bad has emerged from 2007.  Both for me personally, and for the world as a whole.  Perhaps it is just my optimistic nature, but I see the world becoming an even better place in 2008.  What role I will play in that, is as yet unknown to me, but I eagerly await to have that knowledge revealed to me in all due time.  Time is a strange thing, when we wish for it move more quickly it crawls by, yet when we wish for more it seems to rush by at ever increasing speed. 

     How strange it is time, that most human of creations, can seem to be a natural deliniation is merely the desire of the human mind to structure into rigid and equal units what nature does seemlessly and smoothly since before humanity even came to be.  I desire to control it, I know that I can not, and I accept it as it passes away, each passing moment ushering in the next.  That is one of the great quandries of life, and one of its greatest challenges is to learning to accept the passage of time for waht it is, an inevitable and beautiful part of our precious time on this good earth.  So enjoy every moment of your life, for each moment is already escaping into the past.  In closing I borrow the words of colonel General Dmitry Volkogonov:

The past is irretrevable, the present is incomplete, the future has already begun.
